Paul Johnson is unmatched in his knowledge of modern day history. It's nice read that someone over there is still rational.

When George W. Bush was first elected, he stirred none of these feelings, at home or abroad. He seems to have sought the presidency more for dynastic than for any other reasons.

Another person taken in by the anti-Bush old media. If President Bush had been ginven even close to a fair shake, the world would have respected him all along.

...one left-wing columnist in Britain actually offered a large sum of money to anyone who would assassinate the president...

Wow! No wonder our Dubya has been wearing a bulletproof vest even in the most unlikely places. Just 16 long, worrisome days left. I have never wanted an election to be over so much in my life.

To my FR friends, even though you may not see this until morning, am pinging you to this superb, if frightening, article. Frightening because it so clearly points out the enormous stakes in this election if our Dubya doesn't win. I know we're all working as hard as we possibly can, but let's encourage everyone to not trust the polls. We need every last conservative and Republican in the country to get off their butts and vote for Bush-Cheney. Our very lives, and those of our loved ones, may well depend on it.

"This is bad enough. But since the campaign began it has emerged that Kerry's origins are not in the Boston-Irish community but in Germanic Judaism. Kerry knew this all along, and deliberately concealed it for political purposes."

I have no idea what the writer is alluding to here, but it is very intriguing. Could someone please elaborate?

Many on the Continent support him, because they hate Bush, not because of any positive qualities Kerry possesses. Indeed we know of none, and there are six good reasons that he should be mistrusted. First, and perhaps most important, he seems to have no strong convictions about what he would do if given office and power.

Paul Johnson, a great historian and a better writer than I, agrees with what I have been saying all along:

1. Kerry is a BIG NOTHING!!!!!

2. He is backed by an evil, smarmy, antichrist crew of would-be imperial world rulers. Chief among them of course, is George Soros. Then there are the back-stabbing little clintonites, like Richard "Fat Rat" Holbrooke, Joe "exterminate the Serbs" Biden, and Sandy "The Burglar" Berger.

These inmates of the clinton zoo are characterized mainly by hatred against the Serbian people of Hitlerian proportions. They would definitely work to break up Serbia even further, and would impose measures that would amount to genocide, whether cultural or outright extermination!!!!

America would not fare well either. What sort of fianancial manipulations does Soros have in store for us? How soon, between increased Third World immigration and acclerated "outsourcing", would we become a Third World country? Then comes the role of the islamoNazi hordes, who these creeps have a history of collaborating with.

We MUST re-elect George W Bush!!!!

Agreed. An essay worth reading.

I cannot recall any election when the enemies of America all over the world have been so unanimous in hoping for the victory of one candidate. That is the overwhelming reason that John Kerry must be defeated, heavily and comprehensively.

It boggles the mind.

An excellent article. This is what should scare any sane American about Kerry becoming president:

"All the elements of anarchy and unrest in the Middle East and Muslim Asia and Africa are clamoring and praying for a Kerry victory. The mullahs and the imams, the gunmen and their arms suppliers and paymasters, all those who stand to profit — politically, financially, and emotionally — from the total breakdown of order, the eclipse of democracy, and the defeat of the rule of law, want to see Bush replaced. His defeat on November 2 will be greeted, in Arab capitals, by shouts of triumph from fundamentalist mobs of exactly the kind that greeted the news that the Twin Towers had collapsed and their occupants been exterminated.

"I cannot recall any election when the enemies of America all over the world have been so unanimous in hoping for the victory of one candidate. That is the overwhelming reason that John Kerry must be defeated, heavily and comprehensively."

Mastering terrorism fired by a religious fanaticism straight from the Dark Ages requires hard pounding of the dullest, most repetitious kind, in which spectacular victories are not to be looked for, and all we can expect are "blood, toil, tears, and sweat."

Johnson puts a face on our enemy: "terrorism fired by a religious fanaticism straight from the Dark Ages"

We have the choice of allowing tomorrow to be ruled by us or them, no other option.

---But since the campaign began it has emerged that Kerry's origins are not in the Boston-Irish community but in Germanic Judaism. Kerry knew this all along, and deliberately concealed it for political purposes. If a man will mislead about such matters, he will mislead about anything.---

I've been surprised so far not to have heard this remarked about. Kerry's "surprise" at "finding out" his origins has got to be one the most preposterous of many preposterous notions that this fraud of a man has attempted to foist on the American public. A Boston brahmin that doesn't know his ancestry...

>>>>>One has to ask: Why is a man like Soros so eager to see Kerry in the White House? The question is especially pertinent since he is not alone among the superrich wishing to see Bush beaten. There are several other huge fortunes backing Kerry.<<<<

Soros track record tells it all. After him, the ruin.

My favorite historian who writes masterfully about any subject. America is the world's new Rome - and all roads lead to Washington. In hindsight, its easy to trace the dissolution of the ancient Romans after a series of unscrupulous power hungry charlatans came to power in the late second century. The next century and a half has been described as the Empire's darkest. Domitian and Constantine tried to strengthen what was left of the Roman World but nothing halted its disappearance in the West. In the East, it survived for another millenium with nothing recognizably Roman about it, except perhaps for the Emperors who could trace their lineage all the way back to the founding of Constantinople. This disgression has a point: the wrong choice can affect the future of a civilization in ways that cannot be foreseen. American voters dare not make the wrong one in November. For not only the health of America but above all the peace and safety of the world depend on having the right man in the right place at the right time. We already have him and that is why President Bush for all his flaws, deserves another four years in the White House.

absolutely right in estimating the seriousness of the threat international terrorism poses to the entire world

Why, oh why does the media persist in using the PC code words 'international terrorists' when everybody knows they are Islamic terrorists ??

Must the world wake up one morning to a nuked city before the truth is finally acknowledged ?


BUMP
